      As a bike rider, doesn’t that skew even more the relative advantage you get by not giving a fuck? If nobody wants a “weak” car, they should be even cheaper than in a sane market that values cars by their ability to go fast and accurately from A to B, no?

        No, because they pay out the nose for huge SUVs these days which increases the chance they’ll kill us cyclists.

          No I meant coming from ignorance, since I am a biker, but on the matter of buying “ugly” cars.

        Eh, it also means relatively fewer weak cars are being built. So it helps, but not as much as you’d think.

      Works both ways too, Sam Bankman Fried apparently fooled a lot of people by cosplaying as a Toyota Corolla driver
